SAP Release Manager | SAP ChaRM & S/4HANA | Leading Global Release, Change & Cutover Projects

About

I'm an SAP Release Manager with 3+ years of experience leading end-to-end release, change, and deployment management across SAP ECC and S/4HANA landscapes — from weekly release cycles to major go-lives — in large, global enterprise environments. At Accenture, I directed 40+ SAP releases across 10+ modules at a 98% on-time deployment rate, designed a unified release and change framework that was adopted globally and cut cycle time by 30%, and led major incident resolution across P1/P2 issues through global war rooms and root cause analysis. Along the way, I mentored 5+ new hires and helped lift stakeholder satisfaction scores by 25% through consistent, clear reporting. Today, as a contract SAP Release Manager with TekSystems supporting Schneider Electric's global SAP program, I own the release calendar end-to-end, chair Change Advisory Board (CAB) sessions, manage cutover planning, and lead a team of 7 release and change coordinators — training them personally and running a weekly stakeholder call to keep everyone aligned on progress, risk, and blockers. What I bring to a release management function: → SAP Solution Manager, ChaRM, Cloud ALM, and Transport Management System expertise → ITIL v4-based change control and CAB leadership → A track record of zero-impact go-lives under real deployment pressure → Hands-on team leadership — building, training, and running distributed teams across time zones I'm ITIL v4 and ServiceNow ITSM certified, and I'm currently open to SAP Release Manager opportunities across India and the UAE/GCC region. Let's connect if you're hiring for release, change, or SAP program delivery roles — or just want to talk shop about keeping complex SAP landscapes stable under pressure.
